Will you drive the new 75-mph speed limit on I-10?

The Texas Transportation Commission voted Thursday to raise the speed limit on 289 miles of Interstate 10 from El Paso — through Jefferson and Orange counties — to the Texas-Louisiana border. That’s an increase of 10 mph on most of the highway. The Texas Legislature authorized the faster speed last spring. The increase covers 19 miles of I-10 from the Chambers County–Jefferson County line to U.S. 69 South in Beaumont, and the 25 miles of I-10 from the Jefferson County–Orange County line to the Louisiana State Line.

Will you drive the new 75-mph speed limit on I-10?

Yes. I drive to get somewhere, not poke along.

No. There are too many accidents now from too much traffic on too few lanes.

When they tear up the I-10 Neches River Bridge, you'll be lucky if you do 10 mph from the traffic jam!
